Alex sighed quietly to himself as he looked around the room filled with guardians and protectors, a meeting of some known guardians and protectors was a mandatory for him to attend. He was the guardian of the ancient dragon inside him, he found it was a pain being the lone guardian in a family of protectors though. His family tended to be very overprotective, always reminding him of his duty to control his dragon. Of course it didn't help matters that he had been the target of a hunter that had managed to to get into his life and even for a short time date him.

Alex smiled though as he looked at the crest with his dragon on it, he saw his creature not as a duty but as another part of himself. He looked around as he walked, walking into another person as he did. "S-Sorry!"

He couldn't believe it. Of all the things that he could lose, he'd somehow managed to lose track of the guardian he was supposed to protect; his brother. Even at the meeting it worried him, having heard rumours about why the meeting was called. Something to do with hunters.Artemis anxiously ran a hand through his hair as he looked around, not noticing where he was actually going until someone crashed into him.

Alex slowly pulled himself up from the ground, the man had the air of a protector. He glanced around, hoping his family hadn't seen. He didn't want them to start smothering him with over protectiveness, he wasn't a child that needed to be coddled.

He flushed softly when he got a look at the man's face, he realized he probably looked stupid in front of such a handsome guy. He rubbed the back of his neck, "Still... Sorry bout that..." He said softly.

****Frankie moved around the crowd as he followed his protector, the room was so full and it felt like he could get lost at any moment. The griffin wasn't even sure what the meeting was about, all he knew was that it was a large gathering.

"It's alright." Artemis replied, reaching a hand out to help him up. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" He looked at Alex curiously, trying to guess what he was. He assumed one of the guardians, the energy coming from him was similar to his brother's.

"...You're a guardian?" He asked after a moment.

Jacen wasn't a fan of large crowds. While his guardian form was a wolf, he was quite different from a regular one. He was as large as a horse to start with and he preferred being alone, or with his protector brother more than being in a pack like a normal wolf. Curled up in a dark area that was out of the way, Jacen didn't look that big, but on his feet he was taller than most people were. He laid with his head on his paws, making an irritated sound as he watched all the people pass by.

"I'm fine... Not hurt at all." Alex answered with a shy nod, it took a lot to hurt him thanks to his dragon. Thankfully his family was busy and no one had seen him fall, he gave a small smile and nodded. "Yeah I'm a guardian."

***Frankie frowned as he lost sight of his protector, he moved quickly from the middle of the room. Hoping the edge would make it easier to find him.
